Dropping a Book

 I am seriously considering dropping a book here really soon. It's the book I am halfway through, but haven't read in weeks. It's called Technomancer, and I would not recomment it to anyone. It's so confusing, and I can almost predict what's going to happen. Also, the main character is a stereotypical player, which makes the book extremely boring to read, because the character is so predictable. The plot is just downright bizarre, and the other characters have almost no meaning (well, the few characters that there actually are).
 The main character is an arrogant, snobbish man who thinks he can just mouth off to anyone and thinks he know all the answers to everything. But he doesn't know anything! Also, he always does something incredibly stupid that causes him to get into a life or death situation, and he just acts like it's a game. Another thing is that the book tries to make it seem like something extremely terrible or suspenseful is about to happen, but in the end, the characters were in no danger at all. This makes it very disappointing and impossible to read. I would not recomment for anyone to read this book.

Vocabulary

 There is a lot of  interesting vocabulary in the book I am reading, Technomancer. There are some words that I have never heard of or seen before, but once I do what they mean, I am able to use them in my own writing. For the most part, there are words in the book that are very common, but also add more meaning to the book. They emphasize the modern context of the book and help to describe certain situations.
 The vocab that is used to describe certain scenes better helps to show the mood of the moment or conversation taking place. The new words that I find in the book make me more engaged in what I'm reading because it almost forces me to look up the meaning of the word in order to better understand what is happening. It engages me more in the book. Sometimes it makes me pay attention to pay attention to the context in order to fully understand the meaning of the word and what it adds to the sentence. It helps me to expand my vocabulary and helps me to use more elevated diction.

A Symbol for the Main Character

 In my book Technomancer, the main character is named Erin Draith. A symbol that I think really represents him well are is the sunglasses that he always carries around and utilizes throughout the book. It shows how he is always trying to hide his identity and doesn't want to be noticed. Also, since the sunglasses have the power to melt metal (I know, it's weird, even I can't really explain it), he often uses it to open doors that are locked. I think this represents how he liked to get involved in other peoples' business and doesn't want to focus on his own life.
 This symbol also represents his arrogance. He is often overly confident in himself. He thinks that can accomplish anything and hates to be proven wrong. He believes that he can do whatever he wants without consequence. He tried to act like he knows everything but gets very angry when he finds out that he doesn't know everything there is to know.

The Nature of Good and Evil

 In my book that I am currently reading called Technomancer: Unspeakable Things there is a lot of reflection about the nature of good and evil. Throughout the story, the line between these two is often blurred and confused for one another. When a character thinks that they are doing good, they are actually committing acts of evil, but they themselves are not aware of it. Killing other people is even a theme in the book that is often confused for good instead of evil. For example, a character named Jenna wants to take revenge against the hotel owners when her husband mysteriously disappears out of nowhere. She thinks that by killing them she will do good by avenging her husband's death.
  There are other sins that are confused as righteous in the novel. Some of these sins are greed and wrath, which are both thought by many characters to be truly good. Overall, this novel shows how it is not only in stories that we see the nature of good and evil appear. In real life, we can often do things that we think are good, when in the end, we have actually done something truly evil. Even when we are conscious that we are doing something evil, we can sometimes see it as good in the long run, or that it will benefit us, and we don't consider the consequences before making our decisions.

The Impact of Setting

 The setting of Technomancer is very important to the plot of the story. The setting is what ultimately helps propel the plot forward. The setting changes drastically throughout the story, going from a rundown old city to whole new worlds. This creates a lot of conflicts for the main characters as they try to understand the different dimensions and why portals to these worlds are being opened. This change in setting adds to the mystery of the story.
 Also, the setting also, in a way, becomes a character of its own. It changes drastically throughout the novel, it adds to the main events of the story, and it changes the characters' thought, actions, and perspective. Setting is very key because if you don't have sense of what the setting is like, it can change the way you think of the story, or the situations that the characters are going through. Even though the extreme change in setting may be confusing at time, it adds a lot of important pieces to the book. Without, the novel would be a lot more boring to read, and half of the plot wouldn't exist.
